Guilty As Sin

Oh geez, I've been absent from here for, what?, a week?...more? I think this is the longest hiatus I've taken in blogging in the almost-three years I've been doing this. I wish I could say it's because I've been so busy with all the crazy post-New York Time article goings-on, or because I've been staying up late with a sexy bearded gentleman whose saucy attitude and hilarious sarcasm give me stomach aches from laughing so hard (but between you and me, I have and he does), but boringly, it's mostly because I've been feeling unmotivated and lazy.

Shocking, I know: bloggers sometime lead less than post-worthy lives...or at least the stuff they're unwilling to share on their blogs (see: details about said late nights with sexy bearded gentlemen) are sometimes not post-worthy.

Until I'm ready to dish about my love life, and until there's something regarding the post-Time's excitement worthy of reporting, how about some Friday Faff?! (patented by the lovely Hillary With Two L's)


Guilty Pleasures!


It's not even that I particularly like fast food, although I have been known to consume a Big Mac with unadulterated glee once in a blue moon, but western bacon cheeseburgers from Carl's Jr. have been like crack to me since I was a skinny little girl. Yes, I feel absolutely ill moments after wolfing one, but oh man, they taste so fucking good.

I'm a connoisseur of napping. I have a ton of specifics when it comes to my idea of a perfect nap (lighting, clothing, time of day, length of nap, proximity of cats, etc.), but I'll gladly settle for a less than ideal nap just to get a few minutes of dreaming in (I've taken a nap in the Louvre, in the back seat of my car, in an abandoned conference room at my office, at a party (see above), and with stranger's cats).

There was a particularly rainy, unemployed winter spent in San Francisco where I did nothing but eat Cream of Wheat every morning, and watch multiple Tivo'd episodes of this show. It was pure heaven. Just watch the theme song, if you don't believe me.
Beer...and I have the hips to prove it. *Sigh*


I know you hate her. Everyone hates her. But in the beginning, this show taught me how to cook. If you don't believe me, make her chili.


Videos of buildings collapsing. Yeah, I have no idea where this comes from, although I do remember this amazing fort I made in pre school, and the asshole kid that knocked it down. Perhaps it stems from that experience? Also, perhaps I need to let some shit go?

Cold Case Files - or really, any real-life forensic show (also see: First 48, American Justice). I could watch this shit all day.


Dudes with beards. *Sigh*...alright, fine. Here's a peek of The Dude in the form of an debaucherious and strange Night Before New Years Eve party photo:

Edit: I got nervous and changed my mind. Sorry!


Okay, your turn! Tell me your guilty pleasures, my dears.

Yeah yeah Friday Faff! And bearded fellows! And the First 48!
Jesus - that is far too many exclamation marks. I apologize. This post just made me very happy. I think you've been gone too long :)

My guilty pleasures (but only the ones I've indulged in this afternoon otherwise this comment would take far too long to type) are Timbits (donut holes for all you non-Canadians), After Eight Extra Dark, and listening to Taylor Swift.

Have a great weekend!

Have you watched the latest installment of Degrassi? IT GOES THERE. And Drake (the rapper) is in it, in a wheelchair after a certain special episode.

Amy said...

Degrassi, Sweet Valley High, sad girl memoirs, B.H. 90210, 1970s sitcoms...there's a lot of TV actually. Paula Deen. (Don't hate R.R. - just to go on record about it.)

D Sharp said...

Mmmm...Chicken soft taco supreme from Taco Bell

Watching Big Brother on TV

Listening to anything by Neil Diamond or Dave Matthews

and reading Perez Hilton.

I love this post. Thank you.

I'm just the worse for naps, and Bacci chocolates. Sometimes, one right before, and right after, the other. *sigh*

Dudes with beards? For sure I'm not keeping the 2010 resolution to shave, then. (My face, that is.)

Guilty pleasure no, but secret shame: When I was 15 and trying to develop a unique "style" I started wearing a fedora to school. Although I would have denied it then, this decision was informed by a pretty obvious desire to emulate dreamy Degrassi charmer Joey Jeremiah.

Freezer waffles. Comics by Mark Millar. The occasional episode of Trading Spaces. And oh god, chicken McNuggets and McDonald's hash browns.

1. Bourbon
2. A Second Cup of Coffee and three fried eggs instead of a morning run.
3. John Updike - you know, open straight up to the sex parts instead of reading something else to stimulate my OTHER brain.

LiLu said...

You nailed it with that first cheesebuger. I'm like a goddamn lolcat with those things.

Nom nom nom...

johnnyboy said...

Have you ever thought about becoming a stand up comic in your next line of work? I love your humor and your material is so timely for all of us job-searchers aka small biz makers.
You had me laughing uncontrollably.
Keep it up.
peace out.
